Swine flue at Christmas 2010. 25/12/10

Dylan 1 day after finding out
he had swine flu . 

Sorry i have been away from the blog for a couple of days Dylan has had a viral infection bless him, i hate it when he is ill.
Im taking you back to 24th December 2010 when Dylan was 1 and a half months old. We was all in the font room on the sofa bed , as i was closer to the open plan kitchen , we was all very ill especially me and Dylan , Dylan was so ill he just lay still all the time (lifeless) i was bed ridden i felt as tho i was dying , could hardly stand, just needed to sleep but even that seemed to hurt. Dylan finally looked so ill i called a ambulance , they came and took us to Lewisham hospital in south east London as this was our closes hospital at the time , We didn't like this as, we would of liked QE , but this was further away and Dylan needed a hospital asap. and i was in no fit state to argue. We got there and was took to the ward and put in a side room , lucky it had a fold bed for a adult so i could lay down as well. They gave Dylan fluids ,and a bit of oxygen . we stayed and waited for the results of the blood test to see what was wrong, but unfortunately the department that deals with that was closed as it was Christmas eve so we got the dreaded news that we had to stay and , that meant waking up in hospital on Dylan's fist Christmas ill and in hospital.
I was so sad and ill i could hardly keep awake , i was so worried about my baby, i haven't long had him home as we was there 2 and a half weeks when he was born. I cried for hour's that we had to stay in also they still didn't know what was wrong with him.What was wrong with him must of been what was wrong with me.
Well Christmas morning came , and the nurse came in a bought Dylan a gift from Santa as he still comes to hospitals. i was a blanket. also a goody bag that had a penguin and a lion teddy in.

We was told Dylan was stable all night so they thought we could go home and take care of him there and he should be better soon . this concerned me but i didn't want to be there no longer.

poorly billy 

Mandy (billy's mum) came and picked us up. took us home. The doctor said they would call and let us know the results of dylan's bloods as soon as they came through. I got home and collapsed on the bed. Mandy insisted we was not well and wanted us to go stay at hers and she could help keep a eye on dylan while we got some sleep. i dint like this idea to much as i don't want any one else looking after dylan especially if he is not well . But i was in no fit state to argue but i did try. So soon after i got a call from my step mum Emma. Whom i normally listen to when i am ill as she looked after me all the time as a little one. She told me to go to Mandy's, so we went and got to hers she changed the bed sheets and me and billy got in bed , we had dylan in our room till bed time then they insisted that he goes down stairs with them. But before this i got a call from the doctors the confirmed that dylan had the H1N1 virus , which i was shocked and confirmed this was swine flu i was devastated my poor tiny baby had this and so did me and billy! Mandy was a star she picked up dylans prescription from the hospital and i managed to get a prescription for me and billy from our out of hours doctors. Mandy then took all of them and travel all the way across London to get the Tammy flue medicine for us. Bu thankfully after the first dose dylan seemed to show more signs of getting better. I took a bit longer but after a few days we was back home. I hated that our fist Christmas with our baby was so rubbish. I vowed the next one would be better.
